Back in the saddle...

Welcome to Winter term, 2014.

Seniors, everyone has a deadline coming up next week, AT THE LATEST.  Remember, it's never a problem getting work in early.  E-mail me if you have any questions.

This term, my office hours are Monday mornings at 10:00AM.  If you need a meeting and the walk-in hours don't suit your schedule, e-mail me.

A couple of notes on, well, notes.

Week six of the term has just drawn to a close, so this is a good time to ask yourself how close you are to the schedule on the syllabus.  Remember: if you stick to the schedule, you will complete a script.  The farther you drift away, the less likely you complete the class successfully.

A word on notes.  By this time, you all should have gotten back notes from me on the first round of submissions.  I try to keep up with the reading you send me and turn it around as quickly as possible.  However, no mater how long it takes me to read your submissions, never wait for my notes to continue writing.  My turnaround time is not an excuse for you to blow off writing.

Finally, are you keeping up with your blogs?   I'm out here lurking and dropping in.  Some of you are writing... some not.

Deadlines?

Just a friendly reminder: make sure, as we move forward through the term, that you're keeping track of senior project deadlines.  I think you have some work due...

Fall Term Commences!

With the initial pitch meeting out of the way, a new cycle of workshop and senior project classes is moving forward.  Remember to send me blog links immediately for where you'll be writing about your script progress.  Get started on your initial development work and e-mail me if you have any questions.

Summer Development

As the hazy days of summer float by, don't forget that fall term is just over the horizon.  For some of you, that means the start of Senior Project, your capstone to your studies at Drexel.  While you're chilling by the pool, you should be using your downtime to develop the story you want to work on for your final script.  It's never too early to start working.  Always be in development!

Done!

Another academic year winds to its close.  All the scripts are read, all the grades entered.  Graduation takes place this afternoon.

Congratulations to all the SCRP Seniors on completing a challenging year.  Best of luck!

The End Is Nigh

This is the beginning of week 10, everyone.  Seniors, any draft you want me to read before you graduate is due in my mailbox by Friday, 5:00 PM.  After that, I won't be accepting new material.

I'd like to schedule one last individual meeting with everyone during week 10 or finals week, so e-mail me your availability.

Thanks for all the hard work, everyone.  This is the home stretch!
